Passive resistance….just don’t give NBL anymore of your money. If you make statements like that be sure to back them up and don’t wus out by filling the pockets of that which you so despise. l

Love the idea Dave, but it should be a real award, not just name only, and I think Farside should design it!
If you are really serious about the commitment you will have to make to start a track, here are some words of advice of someone who has done it a few times before;
Take the time to look for private lots in the area you like, either for sale or owned by someone who is interested in BMX. Private lands will save months of time, money, and above all HASSLE. Take the time to look because private is the way to go in the long run AND short run.
(I’ve had problems with Townships because everything had to go out for public bid, EVERYTHING, even donated dirt and equipment).
If public is the way you chose to go, be prepared for the hassle, really prepared, before you talk to anyone, create a business plan. Include everything you can think of. The NBL will provide you with most of the info you need (and probably the ABA, but I’ve never tried)but not all.
Get Demographic info, potential local income ie., hotels, restaurants, convienence stores, etc., and above all insurance, insurance, insurance. Be well organized, when you say BMX to most people they think ” juvenile delinqents” you have to prove that “you”, as the only face of BMX they will see, are someone they would like to have a relationship with.
Good luck to anyone who is willing to tryIf you are really serious about the commitment you will have to make to start a track, here are some words of advice of someone who has done it a few times before;

but who among you are gonna run them? Not me. The fact of the matter is that being track director is a full time job, or at least it should be if you want a nice track.
If any body out there is willing to do….Just do it! and stop talking about it.
It’s easy to sit and bitch in front of your computer about how badly everybody doing and how much better you could do.
